Tracking the Fed: Markets Have Raised the Odds of a Rate Cut
Market sentiment has now moved strongly to expect a cut of 25 basis points at next week’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting. This is a big reversal in a short period. It doesn’t appear that much has changed in the economy in the past couple of weeks, though the delay/absence of good data stemming from the government shutdown certainly does not lend confidence to the outlook. Rather investors have read the most recent speeches and statements by a majority of FOMC members as supporting a step to ease rates.
